Let us be lovers and
marry our fortunes together
I've got some realestate here
in my bar
So we bought a pack of cigerettes
and Mrs Wagners's pies
And walked off to look for America
Kathy I said
as we boarded
a Greyhound to Pittsburg
Michigen seems like
a dream to me now
It took me four days
to hitch hike from sagenow
I've come to look for America
Laughing on the bus playing games
with the faces
she said the man
in the gaberdine suit is a spy
I said be careful his bowtie
is really a camera
Toss me a cigerette
i think there's one in my rain coat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the senery
she read her magazines
and the moon rose over an open field
Kathy I lost a said though
I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching
and I don't know why
counting the cars
on the New Jersy Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
all gone to look for America
all gone to look for America
